THE CULTURAL, TOURISTIC AND SOCIAL EVENTS
During the whole period of the School/Conference there will be
the International
Maribor Summer Festival "Lent 2011", each evening offering at least four to
five cultural events (performances), among which you can freely choose, including
theatre, opera & ballet, symphonic and chamber music concerts, jazz performances,
folkloristic festival performed by groups from all over the world, etc... The quality
level is substantial, some of the best artists in the world come to Maribor, especially
in the domain of jazz. For example, in 1996 we even had Ray Charles. And much more.
All performances are taking place either at various open air places/squares in the
old medieval part of the town, called "Lent", by the river Drava, or inside some
historic buildings in the same city quarter, or in the opera, theatre or other concert
halls in the city. The entrance is free for our participants (it is fully covered
by the participation fee), and the entrance tickets (cards) will be distributed
together with other conference materials upon your arrival in Maribor. Reservations,
if necessary, can be made (in block) for the interested persons by the assisting
staff to the Conference (registration desks). The detailed programme (programme
brochure) of the Festival performances will be available and distributed upon your
arrival in Maribor. The entrance card is the entrance ticket for almost all performances,
only for some exceptional events there is a certain but small surcharge. Also, upon
your arrival, together with the conference materials, you will receive the book
"Facts about Slovenia", to guide you through our country. We shall also have five
private concerts and other nice social events, and a number of public evening lectures
by some eminent thinkers, scientists, philosophers, and engineers.
On Saturday morning, 2 July 2011, we shall have the presentations of the short reports,
until lunch time. Then, on the same Saturday afternoon, 2 July 2011, after lunch,
there will be a tour through the city of Maribor followed by a wine tasting of some
best Slovenian wines in Maribor. On the same Saturday evening there will be the
banquet and the closing festivity of the folkloristic part of the Festival "Lent
2011", accompanied by a big firework performance starting at 23:45 and lasting until
00:15.
On Sunday, 3 July 2011, there will be an excursion to some of the most beautiful
parts of Slovenia. The participation will be charged extra (about 70.-EUR per person).
That will cover everything, the transportation, the (high-level) lunch (at lake
